Import Information File CSV Format requirements
A CAUTION: Required fields are UserID, Installed Date, InstalledTime, InstalledMeterNo, and
InstalledEndpointSN. If these fields are not populated, the file will not be processed. Service
Location is required if the Latitude and Longitude fields are populated. Command Center will
ignore the latitude and longitude values if Service Location is not provided.
The Import Installation File window provides a CSV template link. Click this link to view the format
requirements for the file. This template can be saved to a network location or local machine and
provided to the installer.
The Installation file must be of the following format:
• The first line must be a header.
• A comma is required to separate each item even if no data exists.
• A Service location is required if the service latitude and longitude are provided.
Time Zone
In order to report reading time correctly, the endpoint must be programmed with the appropriate time
zone; this is achieved by sending commands to the endpoint that indicates the time zone in which the
endpoint is installed and whether Daylight Savings Time (DST) is observed in the given time zone.
The Installation File should include the endpoint time zone. Clicking the Time Zone List link will
open a document that displays a list of valid time zone designations by country.
